Chose Showpad eOS®
The only option our company used was cloud-based file-sharing services (Box, Dropbox, etc) and emails like Outlook or Gmail. Both options make it hard for version control and for ease of navigation. Generally, end-users had an easier time finding content on Showpad.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad Content is professionally dedicated software for sales business with better presentation features and completing Crm software features. That's why it's recommended for complementary software for better sales management even in front of the customer.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Honestly, I have yet to see another service similar to Showpad. You might have email trackers that tell you when your clients opened up an email or which links from your email were clicked. Showpad has it all, in addition to having a hub of resources where you can easily share …
Chose Showpad eOS®
This is the first sales enablement tool that I've used. Prior to this, the company I worked at used Google Drive to manage content and it was very tedious.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad Content provides more features than other file sharing tools like Dropbox, Box.com, and Google Drive since it allows you to see who has viewed your content and how long they spent viewing it. This information can impact the approach used during a sales cycle to help …
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad allows users to understand the engagement between content and recipients. Provides a tool to understand how to engage/ tailor the next conversation.

I was mainly using Cornerstone for training and onboarding and now we use Showpad for the training part as well. I honestly don't see much difference besides the fact that Showpad is better as a library than to do training. Cornerstone was good enough but my company …
Chose Showpad eOS®
We originally changed from ClearSlide because I felt we had too many crashes during demos, and it was very slow. Also, the audio quality was poor.
Chose Showpad eOS®
ClearSlide offers a similar solution to Showpad. We found that Showpad had better reporting capabilities and the UI to be easier to use.

FRONTLINE SellingShowpad eOS®
Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well suited to any type of sales scenario. You can use it for the beginning of the sales cycle, from the first outreach to the mid-pipeline area. The method has been tested over all verticals. The only scenario where it wouldn’t work is if your company relies mostly on inbound leads.

Showpad Content works well to provide a central hub for all document hosting. The interface is simple and easy enough to use. Our sales team likes that you are able to see when a user has opened your file once it has been shared with them and how long they spent viewing it.

Cons
  • Maybe sprucing up the website a bit
  • Make new simulation recordings--it gets old listening to the same people's names every day

  • Not truly a limitation, but I would love it if I could customize the design a bit further within the shared spaces that I create.
  • Loading large resources sometimes takes a few seconds - not particularly long and not an issue, but it is not instantaneous in some cases.

I have not been involved with support from Showpad so I am not entirely sure. However, we have received some emails from our help desk about an outage and it seems like it didn't last very long so I would say that it was pretty effective support to that extent.
